‌In the world of 10-year redistricting cycles, there are endless highs and lows. And the last few weeks have been a perfect example.

High & Low: Alabama »
A highlight in Alabama became a devastating blow when the Supreme Court decided a gerrymandered congressional map -- that a federal court deemed discriminatory -- could be used in the 2022 midterm elections.

As A.G. Holder said, this “ill founded decision by SCOTUS will force voting to proceed with a map that’s a “textbook violation of the Voting Rights Act.”

Moments like this are a good reminder that as the fight against gerrymandering continues, every win and loss has real impact behind it. Will you help support All On The Line as we fight for fair maps?

High: North Carolina »
After Republicans in North Carolina tried to manufacture advantages for their party, voters challenged the gerrymandered maps in court. Last week, the NC Supreme Court struck down both the legislative AND congressional maps!

But we knew we couldn’t take this win for granted -- within hours, our North Carolina team had planned a rapid response meeting and started reaching out to thousands of local volunteers.

A.G. Holder said it best -- “Republicans “underestimated the tenacity of North Carolinians and our preparedness to fight for the right to vote in free and fair elections.”

North Carolina isn’t the only state where voters have sent map drawers back to the drawing board. We need the help of grassroots donors to make sure we can mobilize voters during redraws. Make a donation! >>> [[link removed]]

High: Ohio »
Ohio voters overwhelmingly supported redistricting reforms to curb partisan gerrymandering. So when new maps unfairly tipped the scales toward Republicans, voters challenged the maps in court and won!

After Republicans made what A.G. Holder called “inconsequential revisions” to the legislative maps during a court-ordered redraw, the Ohio Supreme Court deemed those maps unconstitutional -- again!

The state of play changes every day in Ohio, but one thing remains unchanged -- Ohio voters are committed to fair maps and we are committed to supporting them in any way we can. You can help make sure AOTL is able to provide voters with support by making a donation.

High: Florida »
Governor DeSantis ousted contenders like Georgia’s Governor Kemp and Ohio’s Governor DeWine for the most egregious map manipulation attempt by a sitting governor -- by trying to hijack the redistricting process AND get the FL Supreme Court to pre-emptively approve the blueprint for his discriminatory map.

Luckily this week, the Florida Supreme Court denied DeSantis’s unprecedented request. The fight for fair maps isn’t over in Florida -- but this was a big win for fair map advocates! Help AOTL secure wins for fair maps by supporting our work.

The redistricting landscape is changing every day. When we entered the height of this process, A.G. Holder reminded us that we’re at a critical junction. He said that our collective actions during this time could be the difference between voters being able to fairly elect leaders who represent their interests -- or another decade of obstruction.

Just this week, he echoed those words and reminded us of what is at stake.

A.G. Holder: “If we grow complacent and come up short in this final phase of redistricting, we will have to wait until 2031 to achieve fair maps.”
